Following on from the successful 2019 TIAMSA Conference on The Art Market and The Global South, last November at MNAA, in Lisbon, this edited volume will unite English texts of original content, previously unpublished. As such, it will discuss the developments, the disruptions and new perspectives that can be observed in the current art market as seen from the Global South, a term here used to refer to emerging economies of the southern hemisphere (South America, Africa, India, South-Eastern Asia, Southern Europe, but not limited to these geographical areas) and their contribution to the development of art markets worldwide. It will explore the Global South as a thematic frame and through different disciplinary viewpoints in order to re-think the cross-cultural and economic flows and to investigate the various local practices of the art market. Furthermore, it will analyze the Global South as a set of spaces and players affected by the contemporary art trade. In doing so, it particularly intends to focus on the rise of new art markets in these regions and their impact on the global art system, its history, its changing processes and its networks – but also on the circulation of art.
Principal Subjects:
-
Diversity: Southern Markets, Plural Markets, New Markets;
-
Collecting: Models, New Collectors and New Private Museums;
-

-
